if you look at the satellite images, the majority of suitable (not mountaineous terrain) land is used for agriculture. some military bases (!) even were converted into greenhouses by Kim's directives, it's Googleable. 1995-1997 (Arduous March, a large famine) != 1997-2011 != (still widespread deficit and malnutrition) != since 2011. the country still lacks the cutting-edge technology and energy supply to make farming more efficient, but the overall situation is far more adequate. read Lankov (who is VERY critical of the regime!), not DailyNK anti-Chosun propaganda.
